Maybe Charlie Shavers & JJ Johnson on trumpet & trombone?
What's your take? Even without knowing, the cut is phenomenal. Late 40's??
Bird's solo is incredible!
Sorry, it cuts off before the end.

Enjoy,

when we hear about the good old days; i think we are talking about the great one as listed. Music has changed and maybe not for the better.
I saw Charlie at Bird Land in 1958. I loved the story about the drunk that yelled out "play something we all can sing"
One of my all time song is "Something Cool" by June Christy.

Hi Mark, Philo, and others, just guessing but I think Bird was long dead by 1958. This clip made me recall a concert that my son and I attended at JALC a number of years ago celebrating an anniversary of the Bird With Strings album, I think his all time best seller. The strings were all classically trained kids from Julliard. Watching them groove on the soloists and the freedom that improvisation provides (I suppose) was very cool to watch and listen to. All jazz were virtuosos and some of whom had played with Bird on the record.

This was the music on my car radio, from a NYC station, I could get on an AM station after midnight, driving my date home from the drive-in. I paid more attention to the music rather than her. Not many second dates unless they were impressed by the music as well.
